Little Pretties: Tis the Season to be Thankful!

Oh my.

Here we are at Thanksgiving once again! Oh how I do love this time of year. Everything and everyone is so thankful and that's just what this generation needs more of year around. I need to be more thankful. With the day-to-day cares of life, I tend to lose sight of all that I have and forget to be thankful for the little things so many people go without. I'm guilty of it and long to be in a spot where I take nothing for granted. Lord help me is my prayer.

Thanksgiving is such a happy day... not just because of the food (and all those yummy delicious calories that don't count because after all, it IS holiday party food;) but because it's a time of being together.. in the kitchen and around hot cocoa with daddy trying to taste everything, it's really a special time to be together and sing songs of Thanksgiving to our Lord, because without Him we would truly have nothing.

Every year, Lydia and I argue over who's taking up the most counter space prepping and baking all the goodies to be set out for the family to devour. :) I wouldn't trade those little spats for anything. I'm VERY thankful for my family. They are my whole life, and my best friends! I dug up some little memories from last year, hope you enjoy!

Some of Nini's famous pies, let me tell you. This woman is the Queen Bee of pies. I've yet to taste better.

After dinner last year, we went to Keirland Commons in Scottsdale to walk off the turkey that so wanted us to give into the temptation of falling onto the couch only to stay for the rest of the day . We walked hand in hand and enjoyed ourselves - some of the sweetest hours spent!
